grad school and teaching

Graduate school is nothings like I thought it would be.  There have been a class that was harder than I expected, but it seems like that is the exception instead of the rule.  For the most part the classes are about on par with my classes at spsu.  In fact some of the classes are boring the living daylights out of me and some interest me.  What is the hardest part is the fact that I am trying to go to school, Teaching, and working a part time job.  When I have a few minutes to myself that i should be using to  grade or do school work, I am using them to either catch up on house work or catch up on sleep. I am so looking forward to a summer where i have some time to myself.  I had so many high hopes for going to the gym this semester, but that did not happen. Just not enough hours in the day for me to fit it in.  On the side note, I am out of my medicine, for those who don't know i am hypothyroid.  I have been trying to control myself through diet and vitamins. It is not working. I feel some what better but man am i tired.  when i finally get back to the doctor i want to try something with both t3 and t4 in it. I feel as if my body is not adequally converting to t4.  We shall see what the doctor has to say. As of my 3 years with the disease I have yet to find one who would work with me.  I hope that this changes very soon. Not sure if I can survive the rest of the semester with out my medicine.
